It’s management.
They say the best leaders are the ones who develop the most leaders, not the most followers.
If we want to lead—as opposed to manage—we mustn’t control everything, because then there’s no opportunity for others to exercise their initiative and grow into leaders themselves.
Of course, there need to be checks and balances to pick up mistakes; to keep everything and everybody safe.
And the right relationship to make all this possible—trust.
How do you strike the right balance between freedom and control?
If you’re trying to nail down everything, you probably aren’t leading.
